Sponsor's own description

The main objective of the research is to implement a specific intervention directed by midwives to address the fear of childbirth in the prenatal and intrapartum periods. The results obtained in the specific intervention group under study will be compared with those of the control group that will follow the usual care. Fear of childbirth is defined as a state of intense anxiety that leads some women to fear childbirth, provoking a response that can influence the course of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, as well as well-being and child development. Beneficial results have been shown in counseling, and prenatal education for childbirth, appropriate therapies to prevent, or at least reduce this suffering and its consequences. These interventions must be specific to see an improvement in symptoms, and must use a combination of various approaches to promote not only a reduction in fear, but a positive birth experience. The population under study will be made up of pregnant women with a fear of childbirth detected in the second trimester of gestation. The sample will be recruited in the area of prenatal diagnosis of the Hospital Materno Infantil of Canarians (HUMIC). The start of the recruitment of participants is expected in June 2021, the online prenatal education intervention in August 2021 and the intrapartum intervention in October 2020. The intervention is expected to end in April 2022. It will be carried out a consecutive sampling until reaching the estimated sample size of 190 participants with fear of severe delivery who will be randomized to one of the two arms of the trial.
